Re: Megameet 2015!!

Is there an itinerary for this meet? What time will classes/training/presentations be held, coffee breaks, lunch? It sounds like there will be a lot going on on Saturday so I would like to see what to attend as I doubt I will be able to make it to all of them. Also for anyone booking rooms, I spoke ...

Re: Unusual Timing Fluctuations Viewed with Timing Light

There is an RPM drop (to zero) at 2885 and the other "ign skip" is at 3055 not 3048 as I stated above. There is no ignition skip at the 2885 RPM drop which seems odd, as tach signal comes from the coil.

Re: Unusual Timing Fluctuations Viewed with Timing Light

Here you go. I sure hope I loaded those correctly......The ignition skip or "going to zero" is at 3048.

Re: Unusual Timing Fluctuations Viewed with Timing Light

Any update on this issue? I have a similar situation and engine set-up as OP. Gen 1 SBC 8 pin small cap external coil that momentarily cuts out (tack misses) at about 1500 rpm. I did some of the same exercises as OP (isolate wires add grounds ect).

Re: Second HEI8 Pin Module Failed

I can confirm that the module was ruined by not having the correct setting for spark output and that the coil was fried by having the dwell set too high. The default setting for spark output is going low and the GM 7/8 pin needs to be going high. I installed a new module and it fired right up (after ...

Re: Second HEI8 Pin Module Failed

While waiting for a reply here, I went over my basic ignition set up again and noticed that I had "spark output" set to "going low" (default setting) but when I read the manual it states to set this to "going high" for GM 7 & 8 pin modules. Does anyone have any experience with having this setting ...

On the last run a few days ago I noticed that the coil was getting hot and also the bottom of the dist ...
